Elias absolutely gets some credit for getting some guys in here who are performing and, theoretically, some of the programs that have instituted are helping.

Still, they are 23rd in the league in winning%, so it’s not like he built the ‘27 Yankees.

My comment was a bit tongue in cheek because we have trouble seeing the positive and easily focus on the critiques.  Leadership is easy to second guess all day long.

He is so under appreciated by this fan base.

I'm willing to admit that I've been wrong about him if you figure he's literally been told not to try to win games in the past. Yesterday was great in-game management. Also good and timely execution by the players (Hays' 9th inning hit, Perez continued to pitch extremely well, and Santander may well have saved the game in the top of the 11th), but everything noted in this thread so far is worthy of praise for Hyde. If he's truly been handcuffed all this time, I'd be excited to see what he does when he's allowed to go all in.

Well, he’s not being told to not manage to win games.  But he’s being told to build a house with no workers and limited materials and tools.  
 

When myself or anyone else talks  about losing on purpose, it has nothing to do with the players or the manager. It never has.  Of course they are trying but they are running the 100M dash with their legs tied together.  Doesn’t mean they aren’t trying but they just can’t keep up.

Honestly, I could go either way. We've seen enough of Hyde to know he's had more clunkers than games like yesterday. Instances where he could have pinch hit for someone with a much greater chance at executing in a big moment and things of that nature. Nobody is perfect, but some of those things felt like common sense. I'd prefer to think he's been told to throttle back in the past. It would give me a much higher opinion of him anyway. That's part of tanking, after all.

Ehh, I think it’s common sense when you can bring a player off the bench who is actually good.  But when it’s a decision between Odor or Owings, you really are screwed either way.

I can't remember the Orioles ever losing the DH. In addition to the constraints the team faced in this game, Palmer and Brown noted how he made several moves that paid off, bringing in Hays for Chirinos, pinch running McKenna etc.

Gregg Olson got an AB back in 1993 when the DH had to play a position.  He struck out.

More like the ‘67 Yankees.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      Baseball Reference adjusts for quality of offenses faced, park factor, and team defense. Orioles team dWAR is 1.0; White Sox is -4.7. First guess is Fedde is getting a lot of credit for achieving the same run prevention in front of inferior fielders. Burnes has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Torx2, Bosx2, Oak, Chw, NYY, LA. Fedde has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Tor, Bal, Min, CLEx2, Ari, STL, and Det. Doesn't seem like a huge difference there. So it's probably the fielding adjustment. Is the White Sox stadium especially hitter-friendly?

      Rizzo just got hurt. Bad throw by 1B caused a collision at 1B. Rizzo while safe bumped into P and fell on ground.    He was grabbing his wrist/hand. Left game.    Red Sox are also in process of blowing the lead.

      I’ll agree and disagree. It’s not so important with this number of games left to juggle pitchers around since you are still playing the long game.     Bye teams going 3-5 in the DS have shown it’s not an impossible hill to climb. That said I think both teams still value winning the division.

      I totally agree. Some are still stuck in the mindset that we're a bad team.

      That's good.  Will give him something to do while he heals.

      Huh? He's on pace to start under 100 games at Catcher.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Keith Law has him going late 1st round and doesn’t sound like a fan.   26. New York Yankees: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore has probably performed his way into the first round, even though the underlying tools and instincts don’t support it. He’s hit 23 homers and has a .380/.446/.774 line (through Monday) as part of the Vols’ loaded lineup, where five hitters already have 15 or more homers. I could also see them on Ryan Waldschmidt or Jordan. Baseball America’s most recent mock had him going 19.  Some reservations about his defense. 19. Mets — Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore’s offensive consistency in his three years with Tennessee is impressive. He’s posted a 1.000 OPS or better in each season, has hit over .300 in each season and has managed double-digit homers in each season—with a career-best 28 homers in 2024. He did that while cutting his strikeout rate from 24-25% to 14.5%. There are real questions with how much he’ll be able to pick it at second base. Still, he has one of the more proven bats in the class and is getting tons of top-20 buzz.
